Lanson - Black Label Brut NV 75cl Bottle

Product Description

A quality Champagne, loved the world over & is a showcase for the ideas & character of those making it. Three grape varieties come into making of Lanson Brut: Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier (black grapes) & Chardonnay (white grapes). An impressive range of 40 to 50 crus are blended together to form this Champagne & they are all vivified separately so the cellar master has an exceptional choice of aromas available to him, thus guaranteeing the consistent Lanson taste at all times. Lanson is one of the very few Champagne Houses not practising malolactic fermentation, a fact to be noted in Champagne. This Lanson tradition allows wines to develop to the full & to better their wealth of aromas. 3 Years ageing in over 4 miles of cellars, combined with the cellar master's expertise, are essential components of perfect maturing. Lanson Brut's brilliant & clear colour is remeniscent of the straw colour & hints of amber characteristic of the Pinot Noir grape. In the glass, it is lively with a fine string of bubbles. On the nose, the impression is one of vitality & scents of spring, mixed with a touch of 'toast' & honey. To the palate are bouquets of ripe fruit & citrus fruit to create a sensation of fullness, fruitiness & lightness. A pleasant racy wine with a long & lingering taste. ' For the past two years this has been the best & most consistent non-vintage from any of the big Grandes Marques'. Tom Stevenson. The Wine Report 2009; Champagne Report 2009. Grape: 35% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier.
